Local Species Insights: Little Tunny
Little Tunny, also known as false albacore or bonito in Florida waters, are abundant in the coastal waters near Riviera Beach. These fish typically travel in schools and are most active when chasing bait near the surface. Their distinctive dark spots below the pectoral fin and wavy pattern on their back make them easily identifiable.
When targeting Little Tunny, fast retrieves with small, shiny lures or small live baits work best. These fish are renowned for their blistering runs and stamina that far exceeds their size. While not considered premium table fare by most anglers due to their dark, strongly flavored meat, they are primarily caught for sport and often released. The best times to target them are during bait migrations in spring and fall, though they can be found year-round in Florida's warm waters.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When joining Tuna Wahoo Charters for a day on the water, you'll be fishing aboard a well-maintained vessel equipped with quality rods, reels, and tackle suitable for the target species. The boat provides comfortable seating, shade, and the necessary safety equipment for a secure day offshore. Most charters begin early morning when fishing activity is at its peak, though afternoon trips are also available.
Wear comfortable, non-marking shoes and layered clothing that can handle salt spray. While we provide all fishing gear, you're welcome to bring your favorite rod if you prefer. Our trips typically accommodate up to six anglers, making this an ideal outing for families, friends, or small groups looking for a personalized fishing experience in the beautiful waters off Riviera Beach.
